THANKS TO OUR SUPPORTERS, CONTRIBUTORS AND CUSTOMERS  ###################################################################### The list of supporters and contributors to Megadisc is growing steadily and heartfelt thanks go to all you good people whose contributions are improving the quality of the magazine each issue. Many users, both local and overseas are very surprised at the high quality of the information in Megadisc, particularly when compared to some of the flashier international magazines, on disk or paper. Just goes to show the locals can do it if they want! Many of these knowledgeable people are willing to share what they know if you've got a particular problem, so contact us if you want to be put in touch with someone who can solve it. Meanwhile, a thousand thanks also to all of you who have bought Megadisc (to be precise about 1500 thanks...), thus helping us to continue putting out the disk - if people don't buy it, we can't continue helping to sort out the information flood for you... One way to support Megadisc is to simply let other people know about us - give a subscription form to a friend, or hassle your local dealer to keep stocked up or get the disk in if he hasn't got it. Or phone us and tell us about a new dealer.
